AKAS® folding machine protection
Safety solution for operator safety on folding machines
A folding machine is a sheet metal processing machine that bends sheet metal precisely to the desired angle by clamping it between the upper and lower beam and then swiveling a folding beam. It is particularly suitable for long, straight bends and is often used in the metalworking and roofing trades.
The AKAS® optical safety light grid prevents any part of the body from being crushed between the bending punch and the inserted material or the lower beam tool
- Innovative finger protection for folding machine with laser-optical safety light grid above the lower tool.
- Finger protection when operating with foot switch during the sheet metal clamping process.
- Hands remain free for handling the blank. Even the smallest parts can be guided with the hands during the entire clamping process
- Increased productivity by adapting AKAS® to the respective overtravel of the machine and eliminating the 15 mm stop
The swivel bending machine guarding described here corresponds to safety categories Type 4 (IEC 61496), SIL 3 (IEC 61508), PL e (EN ISO 13849).
